In discussing mileage and passenger totals, Mr. Earling pointed out that for the month of Nov. 1946 "there was an increase of 34% in the number of revenue passengers as compared with the same 30-day period in 1945. In November of this year, we flew 28,000 passengers, an increase of more than 7,000 over the 20,977 figure for November of last year." He added that figures for the month of Nov.\ 1946 alone indicate an ever increasing demand for air transportation throughout the 11 Mississippi Valley states now being served by C. & S. During that month, passenger miles totaled nearly 11,000,000, as compared with the 8,800,000 figure for the month of Nov. 1945, a net gain of close to 2,000,000 revenue passenger miles.—V. 164, p. 2688. 12,350,855 2,763,396 4,242,286 Taxes, Fed. tax 9,552,320 Amortiz. of plant acqui. $2.32 5 1946—12 Mos.—1945 17,609,394 223,224,558 212,420,151 98,367,494 96,578,150 7,672,422 21,897,223 21,241,579 1,873,334 19,909,156 revenue Oper. expenses — Prov. for depreciation—* figures made public by Albert J. traffic and sales.
